Zinc deficiency and photoreceptor dysfunction in chronic liver disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. In nine patients with chronic liver disease photoreceptor function was tested, by measurement of the B-wave amplitude of dark adaptation by electroretinography, and the leucocyte content and plasma concentration of zinc were determined. 2. Four of the patients were leucocyte zinc-depleted and had impaired photoreceptor function, but this was normal in the five with normal leucocyte zinc content.

متن کاملAssociations between Zinc Deficiency and Metabolic Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element which has favorable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and apoptotic effects. The liver mainly plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic Zn homeostasis. Therefore, the occurrence of chronic liver diseases, such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or fatty liver, results in the impairment of Zn metabolism, and subsequently Zn deficiency. Zn deficiency c...
متن کاملThe role of zinc in liver cirrhosis.
Zinc is an essential trace element playing fundamental roles in cellular metabolism. It acts mostly by binding a wide range of proteins, thus affecting a broad spectrum of biological processes, which include cell division, growth and differentiation. Zinc is critical to a large number of structural proteins, enzymatic processes, and transcription factors. Zinc deficiency can result in a spectru...
متن کاملRegression of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Zinc and Selenium Co-supplementation after Disease Progression in Rats
Background: Studies have shown that zinc and selenium deficiency is common in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the effects of zinc and selenium co-supplementation before and/or after disease progression on NAFLD are not clear enough. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of zinc and selenium co-supplementation before and/or after disease progression on NAFLD prognos...

Copper and zinc are essential trace elements which play an important role in various biological processes. Along with various cytokines, glucocorticoids, glucagon and insulin, the acute-phase protein metallothionein is involved in the regulation of immune cell functions. Metallothionein is the central protein regulating zinc concentration. Zinc deficiency is often found in patients with chronic...
